Substitution glass for self-cleaning
Self Cleaning Substitution Glass lets you clean your windows without the need to engage a professional cleaner. This is an ideal solution for busy people who don't wish to clean their windows often.
This kind of window comes with an exclusive coating that works by breaking down organic dirt and allowing water to wash it away. The coating is chemically attached to glass during manufacturing and is intended to last for the life of the window.
The sun's rays activate the coating, causing it to eliminate organic dirt from the glass's surface (fingerprints and bird droppings for instance). When it rains the water will splatter across the glass surface but not form droplets, which would not be able to wash away all dirt. This makes your windows appear clean.
This method has the side effect of drying your windows faster and leaving fewer streaks. It is also much easier to clean them.
However, despite its advantages self-cleaning windows will require some effort to ensure your windows look at their best. This is due to the fact that, while it's a great option for dust, light dirt and air pollutants, it won't be able to handle heavier types of dirt , like bird droppings or other substances that stick to the glass very quickly.
It may take several weeks for the self-cleaning layers to activate again after being cleaned manually. If you must manually clean your windows it is recommended you use a soft cloth and warm diluted water only.

Thermally Toughened Replacement Fire Glass
If your windows require a new glass for any reason and you're looking for a method to improve their appearance and provide you with the most security and appeal you may be interested in thermally toughened replacement fire glass. This glass is ideal for protecting windows from flame, smoke and gas.
Tempered glass, often referred to as tempered safety glass has been heated treated in order to make it four times stronger and more durable than normal annealed glass. The heat treatment alters the glass's breakage by creating a tense, compressible glass. This makes it more resistant to breaking.
This alters the pattern of breakage of the glass, causing it breaks into smaller pieces, rather than sharp angles. This lowers the risk of injuries. This is more secure than ceramic glass which can shatter into large pieces when it is not subjected to constant temperatures.
Ceramic glass is a different type of glass that is used for wood stoves or fireplaces. It is transparent ceramic material that can endure temperatures as high as 1256 F (PyroCeram (r)) and 1470 F (NeoCeram (r)). Because it is able to stand up to high temperatures, it's the safest choice when it comes to replacing broken glass in your fireplace doors.
Ceramic glass is more expensive than tempered glass but it is much more durable and has a lesser chance of breaking if exposed to extreme temperatures. Ceramic glass is best for wood stoves and fireplaces located at greater than 6 inches from the fire. It isn't easily broken when exposed to extreme heat.
The type of glass you select is based on a variety of factors including the area where it will be placed, how close to the flame the glass is, and whether or there are pets or children.
